Mudashiru Obasa said secondary health centres like the ones in Badagry and Ikorodu, established in the 1950s, should benefit.The House resolution followed deliberation on a report submitted by the Chairman, Committee on Health Services, Hon. Olusola Sokunle.The lawmaker said members went on a fact-finding mission to the general hospitals across the State to know the suitable ones that could be elevated to tertiary institutions.Sokunle said the advancement would reduce the pressure on the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH). Five hospitals may benefit from the legislation.The committee also recommends the establishment of renal and neurological departments in the remodeled hospitals.The committee wants the overhauling of Primary Health Centres (PHCs), with Local Governments Councils intensifying awareness to increase residents’ patronage.Hon.
